    "The best learning experience I have had was with Ms. Rosales. Math has always been a tough subject for me to grasp. It has been years since I’ve studied math in a classroom setting.

    I really enjoyed my session with Eva. I'd been a little concerned that an hour would be a long time, since I'm not a fluent speaker of Italian. But the time actually went by quickly. She gauged my skill level well and carried the conversation by asking me questions about my travels, family, work, etc. Eva also created a Google PowerPoint document for me that she used to add phrases I needed some help with-- so a good reference for later. I'd definitely recommend Eva to others!

    Eva is one of the most authentic, unique and incredible individuals I have ever met. She not only understands people and what it means to teach (a foreign language) -- but uses her own experiences and difficulties that she encountered during her own education to help and relate to others. I hired Eva to teach me Portuguese [with bits of Spanish in between] and have been nothing but satisfied and pleased with the results. She is patient and has deep inside knowledge of the subjects that she teaches. She is exceptionally personable. Eva is always willing to step up to the plate and take on any challenge that comes her way. Whether this is teaching someone who has no prior knowledge of a subject or traveling to the other end of the world for the betterment of her education. I highly recommend Eva and her work to anyone looking to learn a new language, educate themselves on a new culture or requiring an employee in the security and international relations sphere. As a master of nine languages, a citizen of the world and highly educated individual, Eva is a gem."

    If I could add additional stars to this testimonial, I would. The daughter of a friend of ours had to complete one semester of French II over the summer in preparation for the new school year. I was desperate to find someone who came highly recommended, but who could also work at an accelerated pace with this young woman. To our great good fortune, we found Eva. Eva systematically went through the entire coursework with an emphasis on grammar and conversational French, which helped our friend achieve her goal. The girl completed French II and passed the entrance test to French III with flying colors. This major accomplishment would not have been possible without Eva. Eva’s level of professionalism, impressive education, linguistic acumen, and her knowledge of French is that of a native speaker. She clearly works well with any age group and all levels including highly advanced focused areas.
